24 Pages from Gary Buechler on Vimeo.
“24 Pages” a little slice of what happens during 24 Hour Comic Day, an International challenge where an artist of any background must complete a 24 page comic, written, drawn and inked, within 24 hours. This video was created by Gary Beuchler, former owner of The Comic Outpost.
Here’s a cover preview to Raven Nevermore #2! This issue introduces a new villain for the Cog Town Nightwatcher to face off against–just a hint: He’s the kinda villain that’ll teach you to fear the silence in the dark, even if you thought you had those fears mastered. The story behind “Mute” is one that stretches well past this first arc and I’m eager to one day be able to tell it!
BOOM! Double spread for this story arc’s finale! Hope you enjoyed this first run of League of Aquatic Heroes. What could this mean for our Deep Diving Do-Gooders? What are Aquarius’ plans for the Seven Seas? Will the League ever get Orca back together again? Will Boston Crab ever actually eat Blowfish? All these questions and more shall be answered next time at this one aqua-place, on this one aqua-website, don’t miss the Aquatic League! Duh-dun-duh-dunananaaaa, AQUA LEAGUE! (Ya, that was my poor attempt at a Batman extro).
The second story arc should start soon but we may take a week break. I’ll also be on a trip to Portugal until just before Xmas so there may be an even longer break. Blog posts will still continue!
Wondermark has always been one of my favorite webcomics. If you haven’t heard about, go check it out. David Macki ! (Yes, with the exclamation mark) is the creator and he takes old public domain images and creates a humorous strip that mixes Victorian imagery with modern sensibilities. The juxtaposition adds to the humor.
A comic he created in September–which is n’t really a webcomic for that matter–is a breakdown for the Electro-Plastmic Hydrocephalic! You can follow it’s guide to come up with your own genre-fiction summary.
What’s better still is that a guy by the name of Liam Cooke converted this madness to a “Working Model” so that some of us lazy people can just click the refresh button for a near-endless bombardment of Maki-inspired idea provokers! Here is my random Wondermark Genre-Fiction plot:
In a VR-simulated one-way spaceflight, a young author self-insert stumbles across an otherworldly portal which spurs him into conflict with a sneering wizard, with the help of a tomboyish female mechanic and her facility with magic, culminating in wish-fulfillment solutions to real-world problems.
Awesome.
